Penta vs. Roman Reigns & the Best WWE RAW of the Triple H Era 🔥

WWE rolled into Mexico City and delivered an incredible night of wrestling, capped off by Roman Reigns and Penta going 24 minutes for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Penta proved he belongs in WWE’s main-event picture. Mexico City was ready to see him become World Heavyweight Champion.

And WWE didn't pull the trigger.

Were we surprised Roman retained? No.

Do we think it was the right decision? Absolutely not.

🏆 ROMAN REIGNS vs. PENTA

The best RAW main event of the year. Penta went toe-to-toe with Roman, survived the Spear, hit TWO Mexican Destroyers and had Mexico City believing they were about to witness a championship change.

Roman retained — but did WWE miss the perfect moment to make Penta World Heavyweight Champion?
